- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $932,086 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. This collaborative research project will use ancient DNA approaches to reconstruct the environmental impacts on coral reefs. Specifically, the researchers will measure the chemistry of coral skeletons and analyze the preserved DNA to understand how corals and their microbes respond to changes in the reef...
- This two-year, $299,082 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences project grant will support research into using ancient DNA to illuminate the fate of Caribbean coral reefs. The principal investigator at the University of Texas at Austin will expand on prior work demonstrating the ability to sequence ancient DNA from coral fragments up to 6,000 years old. The project will compare corals and their microbes from Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands over the past few thousand years,...
- This is a Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $370,635. The award will fund research to characterize the effects of heat, low oxygen, and their combination on a reef-building coral across different life history stages, from larvae to adult. The research will be conducted at a coral reef site in Bermuda, with the goal of improving understanding of how corals respond to environmental stressors and informing...
- This Project Grant award of $495,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports research into the microbiome of the coral endosymbiont Symbiodiniaceae, which is critical for understanding and preserving coral reef ecosystems. The project will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the taxonomic and functional diversity of the microbiomes associated with five coral species from Florida's coral reef, using a combination of amplicon...
- This $899,997 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop predictive models for coral reef adaptation and conservation under climate change. The University of Hawaii at Manoa, the award recipient, will construct a theoretical framework integrating coral larval connectivity, host genetics, and symbiont dynamics to quantify how these factors influence adaptation across reef networks under various climate scenarios. The research...
- This $715,774 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to evaluate the resilience of tropical reef ecosystems to human impacts. The project is being conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and involves field experiments in Moorea, French Polynesia to examine how the sequence of increased fishing pressure, nutrient pollution, and sedimentation affects the resistance and recovery of short algal turf...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on the ecological genomics of the Great Star Coral cryptic species complex in Florida. The $426,296 grant, awarded on December 15, 2024, will fund a project to investigate the resilience and ecological differentiation of the six genetically distinct lineages (cryptic species) within the Montastrea cavernosa coral species. The research team at the University of Texas...
- This $127,149 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund facility improvements and research at the Central Caribbean Marine Institute, Inc. (CCMI) in the Cayman Islands. The award will leverage CCMI's 22-year record of coral reef research by establishing infrastructure for experiments on the physiological and molecular mechanisms driving coral reef resilience. Specifically, the funding will develop an outdoor mesocosm facility to...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
